Buxom Vegan & Cruelty-Free Status (2019)

Is Buxom Cruelty-Free?

Answer:

Buxom is a cruelty-free brand. Buxom does not test any of their products or ingredients on animals. However, it should be noted that Buxom is owned by Shiseido, a corporation that is still testing on animals in 2019.

Some cruelty-free consumers choose to boycott cruelty-free brands that are owned by a non-cruelty-free parent company, but we encourage you to do your own research and to decide for yourself on whether you wish to boycott or support these brands.

Buxom Animal Testing Policy (2019)

Buxom states on their website, “…we do not test on animals. We also do not work with any manufacturers that do animal testing.”

Is Buxom Vegan?

Answer:

Buxom does use animal-derived ingredients and by-products like beeswax, carmine, and lanolin, in some of their products. Buxom’s makeup brushes are also not cruelty-free or vegan as they’re made from real animal hair.

In an email response, a spokesperson from Buxom informed me that, “We have many Buxom products that are suitable for vegan customers. However, some of our products do contain one or more of the following: Carmine, Beeswax, or Lanolin-derived ingredients. Such ingredients are clearly identified on our website and can be found on the product page. Our Buxom Lash Waterproof Mascara is completely vegan-free and does not contain any of the animal ingredients listed above.”
